Samsudin's Bio

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

It is very expensive so I only buy them when it is on sale. Backcountry had some color for sale at 40% and it was worth it. It so light and comfortable. I love the x-static padding. I would recommend the helmet but just too expensive to pay for full price.

It is rather bulky and heavy to carry for mountain biking but I like to mount the GoPro from the chest instead of the helmet. It does take a while to setup and mount it on the chest. Another challenge is to get the right angle of the camera from the chest view.

I only used it few times because there are some major issues. 1) If you going to mount on the mountain bike, you can use your finger to tighten it, it is not strong enough so you need philips screwdrivers to assist and tighten it. Better to put some rubber between the bike and your the mount to get some friction. 2) If you going downhill, it will move and loose the grip after > 40 mins on the trail. It sucks when the camera point on the ground. 3) lastly, over-tighten or extreme pressure with break the clamp.

If you planning to use it with Thule bike rack and Thule Root pack, I highly recommend to get 6 locks or more so you only have 1 key for the bike rack and the foot pack. I made mistake to get 4 packs for root pack and the purchase additional 2 for my bike carriers. They are not cheap.

I spend months doing research on the best car rack for my bike and something which is reliable. Installation was easy and make sure you get the right one for you car so it fit nicely on the door. No issue with door close or door rubber. I bought the Thule One Key separately. I am impressed that once installed, after many years, it is still secure and you don't have to re-tighten but I checked them every year.

I've used it several times

Fit:
Runs small

I bought this for my wife and she love the color and the design. Importantly, it was her first ASICS shoes and she notice that is lighter than other shoes with the same comfort. It does run small so get 1/2 size bigger for this model
